VOL. 4, NO. 1 | Life Under the Big Top: When Evangelism Undermines the Evangel

The effects of modernity on evangelicalism- the moralism of Christian activism, the pragmatism and consumerism of the church growth movement, the "signs and wonders" movement, and the romantic view of the self in the triumph of the therapeutic movement, all come together in the ministry of Charles Finney and his Pelagian descendants. In this issue of Modem Reformation, you will gain a better perspective on how we arrived at our present condition. If these observations are correct, it is time for us to reassess just how "evangelical" evangelicalism now is in reality, and they are offered in the hope that we will consider the truths proclaimed in Scripture, defended by Augustine, and recovered by the Reformers important enough to stand up for in our own day, regardless of the consequences.
